New York, N.Y., June 19 Few people realize that New York Is essentially a winter resort. Climatically, surrounded as it is by salt water, it is a far better summer resort. But New Yorkers, as before stated, just don't pay any attention to the weather. Like the swallows at Capistrano, they obey some mysterious but irre sistible urge and always leave in June for the summer and return when school opens in the fall. As a result many shops close down for the summer, and all of them reduce their overhead while in the theater only the big theatrical hits like "South Pacific" stay on. That Harvard professor went up into the stratosphere again yesterday and it is raining today. The man gets away with mur der! The reservoirs are now as full up as they were a year ago (nearly 95 per cent) and yet he keeps on the job at $100 per day. He should run for mayor of New York, instead of wasting his extraordinary talents at Meteorological school in Cambridge. e a Motored up to New Rochelle to have a look at the round robin tournament. Due to street excavations in the Bronx, took us nearly as long as to motor to Boston we will follow the friendly S.P.'s advice next time and "take the train." ' e a a e e Something new in golf tournaments. The field was restricted to top-bracket pros (by invitation only), each participant playing with every other, in foursomes. An interesting idea and a new slant but hardly a fair test. That is, the best golfer might not win, depending upon how he came out in the draw. In this particular case, however, the best man, L. Mangrum, did win, and we happened to pick out his foursome to follow. He played with Demaret, Art Bell and Haas. We were particularly interested in Bell, who is from San Francisco, for we had noticed him both at Palm Springs and Pebble Beach in '48 and '49, and felt then he had a great future. t Bell is slight, handsome, graceful and wiry a marvelous stylist and a tough fighter. He was low man with a 68 that day, so got points from the other three, but Mangrum with a 70 (par is 72) won out in the end with a total for the 90 holes of 344, while Bell came barely In the money in fifth place. a Ben Hogan' apparently had lost something in his gallant and successful effort to win the "Open" at Philadelphia the week be fore, ending with a minus 12, with Chick Harbert last with a minus 31. So in golf as in horse racing (and practically every other sport worth the price of admission), "you can't sometimes always tell." However, this chap Mangrum is never far from the top never loses his cool, calculating "killer" technique and in the past three weeks has earned over $8000 having been second to Hogan in the Ardmore play-off. (How about it uene? s,u in three weeks isn't bad is it, particularly if you are a player and not a bookie?) e While we were in the gallery Demaret and Bell made the sensational shots. The former chipped out of the sandtrap on the 12th for a birdie three and the latter with his brassie, the hole before, came within two inches of an eagle two. Mangrum iust sawed away like a well-oiled threshing machine, never going OVER par, and ending two under. The weather was a great improvement over Ardmore, and the course ditto. Couldn't call the latter easy far from it but it isn't a heart-and-club-breaker all the way around. The fairways and greens were in perfect shape, tpe former s thick brush ana woods, not as fatal as Philadelphia on a slice or hook. Finally there was no such mob following around as a week ago, sporto acopes being conspicuous by their absence, hot dogs and babies also. Plenty of sports hereabouts during the summer. Saturday the Harvard-Yale boat race at New London, (Washington won the intercollegiate at Marietta, Ohio, Saturday). The Dodgers made it three straight against the league lead ing "Cards" at EbbeU Field yesterday; college baseball over the week-end, and 54 yachts started yesterday for the annual sum mer race to Bermunda. There is also horse racing by day and harness racing by moonlight, so you better hop down here for a spell, Johnl Yep, we hale to perpetrate such a moss-covered cliche but Time CONTINUES to march on. The fact was impressed upon us at New Rochelle when we ran into Lawson Little's foursome at the 7th hole. LAWSON LITTLE! It seems only yesterday your correspondent saw him spring the big surprise at the National Amateur at Pebble Beach by beating Goodman (also just a high school kid) who had in turn startled the golf world at home and abroad a day or two before by vanquishing the super all-time champ uoddv jones. Never hear of Goodman any more, but Lawson Little as a "pro" is right up there in front, getting second plnce to Mangrum, and leading the field the first two days. But naturally no slick, handsome, slender prep-school boy any more. Lawson must weigh close to 200 now, has a definite waistline, his hair is turning grey and he walks somewhat like an elephant who has been pushing circus wagons all day. Speaking of the circus the Cole Brothers are about to pitch their tents in Yankee Stadium while the badly demoralized "champs" are out of town, later they will show for two or three days at Ebbets Field. Their big attraction is not "Jumbo" or the two-headed Hottentot, not even the bearded lady from the Everglades of Florida, but HOP-A-LONG CASS1DY! Anyone who can explain THAT can probably also explain why the modern comics attract the young of today. Both are utterly UNexplain able to this department. To Illustrate how the round robin type of golf tournament COULD upset the applecart and and knock the low-medal winner out of first place, the following report of the New Rochelle tourna ment is clipped from mis morning a jierain-iriouiie, to-wii: Crosstown By Roland Com "These tomato plants have cost mt so much already I have to keep pumping more dough into the project to protect my investment," 111, 1,1,11,11, l,,ll, 11,11, , MMllnMlMMni l.lnvri Msnnrunv Chtram . l,awann Utile.

Lawson Little shot a 355, Barron a 35B, they placed second and fourth, with total scores of plus 20 and plus 12. In other words, in straight medal play Mangrum would have won. but Art Bell and Claude Harmon would have tied for second instead of one ending up third and the other fifth. The reason being not the way they played, but their opposition. An amusing feature of this tournament was the fact the show was financed and conducted by the manufacturers of Palm Beach clothes, and was therefore officially called the Palm Beach tourna ment. But none of the N.Y. papers called It the Palm Beach tour nnmcnt none we saw at least apparently regarding such men tion as "advertising." They called It after the unpronoiincable name of the New Rochelle club namelv "Wykngyl" which perhaps E.G.B. Jr. and some other WELSHMKN in the valley may be able to pronounce, but the undersigned can't. R.W.R.

Manzlali Destruction of Weed by Beetles Said Successful The amazing success of Im ported beetles In combating St. Johnswort was reported today by L. G. Gentner. entomologist at the southern Oregon experi ment station, who this week re turned from visit to the Glen dale area in Douglas county, where 5,000 beetles were liber ated two years ago. Gentner said the beetles had multiplied in the last two years to such an extent that they are now scattered over an area of 160 acres at the rate of about two beetles per square yard. The weed has been practically all killed out in an area of about five acres in the center of the Infestation. Multiply Fait The beetles have become defi nitely established in tilt locality and are multiplying at "an al most unbelievable rate." In an other year, he estimated, the weed, a serious pest, will be killed over the entire 160 acres. It Is hoped that the beetles liber ated last month in Jackson and Josephine counties will do as well. The insects were brought from Australia about five years ago by the United States bureau of entomology and plant quaran tine and have been under obser vation since that time. They feed only on St. Johnswort. and when it is gone they will starve. Do you suffer from seasick ness? Maybe I have a cure for you. A Detroiter says some years ago he read that acrobats, tight rope walkers, roller skaters and all persons whose occupation or favorite sport requires them to balance their bodies to maintain their equilibrium are rarely sea sick. So this Detroiter, who had suffered from seasickness and plane sickness for years, decided to give the theory a trial. For thirty months he went roller skating three times a week. He has never been seasick or plane sick since, though during a long stretch with the armed forces in World War II he took many long trips by sea and air. Over Thar Englnnd's oldest horse, a noble animal named Bob, recently died in England at the age of forty- seven. Oldest horse I ever heard of was one that died at Hebron, Nebraska, at the age of fifty-one. The oldest thoroughbred I can recall was an animal named Mer rick who lived to be thirty-one years old. Repealers What film did you see the most? I never went to see any film more than twice. At the Vic toria Theater, Manhattan, a man is reported to have seen the film "The Third Man" seven times in one day! It is also said there is a young woman who has seen this picture every Monday, Wed nesday and Friday for fifteen weeks. Hones at Woman "You recently said many men have a marked preference for large women," writes a Pitts burgher. "How right you are. My husband Li one of them. We are very happily married and have been for many years. I am forty- three years old, five feet eight and a half inches in height and weight two hundred and seventy eight pounds. My oldest child is twenly-six. my youngest six. I am the mother of eleven chil dren." Dogi Again Dog owners frequently slate their pets understand everything they say. For example, an owner of two Alsatians says whether his wife or himself remarks: "Shall we take the dogs out?" the animals start running around in joyful anticipation of a walk. The couple then decided to spell this question out. The dogs un derstand that, too. They then tried saying it In French. But the dogs still caught on. It is my be lief It Is not always a question of what you say in front of a dog. It's what you think. Dogs are mindreaders. Topper Here's something to top that will knock Californians. Texans and even Brooklynites back on their heels. Madame Vitaline i i M on net, of Font de Plans. France, took six dancing lessons in order to surprise her guests with a bit of impromptu enter tainment. At the party Mme. Monnet jitterbugged with her great-great-grandchildren.

As far as I know I have no read er in Temperance, Mich. But I am going to have one. She lives in Shadyside, Ohio. But will spend the summer in Temper ance. Meal Tickets The old-fashioned custom of restaurants selling meal tickets is still practiced in Staten Island, New York. So I am informed by a resident of that section who sent me a meal ticket he recently bought for $5 which entitled him to $5.50 worth of food. A Mt. Vernon, N. Y., subscriber says the meal ticket system is still used in his town. This subscriber seems to think I owe him a stogie. He con61udes his commu nication with the following P. S. "Forward boxed stogie marked 'fragile'." In the Borough of the Bronx there lives a happily married woman whose husband proposed to her by mail without seeing her in person or a snapshot of her. And she weighs 300 pounds. . . . Are you a pipe smoker? How are you on packing the pipe? The test of expert packing is how long the pipeful keeps burning. Some years ago, A. H. Freeman tie, of Vancouver, B. C, in a pipe smoking contest kept an ounce of tobacco In his pipe lighted for one hour and fifty seven minutes. Rogue River Girl to Attend Meeting of FHA in Kansas City Salem, Ore., June 22 (U.R) Fourteen teen-agers from the Oregon Future Homemakers of America organization will go to Kansas City, Mo., for the second national convention of FHA there from June 28 to July 1, Mildred Deischer, state adviser of the Oregon associa tion, said today.
